Question:

Worst cover? What is the worst cover of a book that you’ve read and loved?

Answer:

I have seen a lot of bad covers out there, which saddens me. I have an intense dislike of bad covers, I’m of the school of thought of why would you spend months and months of your life pouring your heart and soul into writing a piece of work and then just covering it in inferior work. Don’t you want the outside to be just as good as the inside? 

I have however learned to look past a bad cover and there have been many cases that I am glad that I did. I’ll not include any self published covers in my assessment as they are notoriously not great. So the big publisher cover that sticks out the most in my memory is Christine Feehan’s – Water Bound.  I absolutely HATE this cover! If it hadn’t featured a Pranskii brother there is no way I would have picked this book up in the first place. Thankfully the book is not as bad as this cover, it is actually really good.

So here it is!


Is this a bad cover or is it just me?
